Yes it does! I have seen several 40-60 year old spinets and consoles with this problem. I've found that the best way to get glue in the joint is to put the piano on the end that is involved - upside down on moving blankets when it's the top of the board - so that I get a gravity assist with the glue. The spacing of the screw eyes varies depending on the layout of the posts and the length of the separation. Once the eyes are in and the glue is in place, several thick rubber bands provide enough pull to hold the board in place while the glue dries up. Good luck! will wickham On Jan 8, 2006, at 7:35 AM, Steven Sandstrom wrote: > I have a customer with a studio piano where the top of the soundboard > has come unglued from the back frame.It seems to be only in the middle > of the soundboard.
